Style this- Old navy trousers

Image
Remember this? It's a handy little feature that allows me to post something other than an outfit post! I know it's been a little while but I haven't received any submissions so I thought I'd just let it be. Well turns out that you are still out there awaiting some style advice by moi. So thanks! This reader asked me to style up these Old Navy trousers without looking frumpy. So here it goes! Pre -Fall by Ideegeniale featuring Old Navy pants In order for these pants to not look manly, I suggest to pair with a delicate top. This one is a printed chiffon, paired with a lace detailed vest. I would go with a heeled bootie with this cropped trouser. This green one suits the earth tones of this outfit. If you are more of a flats gal, I would make sure that the flat is dressier. There are a few accessories that I wanted to add in. First some cute bunny earrings to keep the look girly, but then paired with a gold watch keeps it classic. And of course some spectacles since they...

Style this: Modcloth Hepcat dress

You'll have to excuse my lack of outfits this weekend. My lack of sleep and busy days have finally caught up to me and I've been feeling less than perfect since Friday. I've started taking cold fx in hopes to get this thing out of my system in 3 days so that I can resume plans that I have already commited to. I did have time however to put together another Style this feature, which is long overdue. I've been cursing this nasty heat and am desperate for Fall so you might see that in the outfit selection I've put together. Here's the email I received : I thought i'd submit a dress for you to help me style (whenever you get time!). its a dress similar to this one from modcloth. its a couple years old and from target. http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Hepcat+Dress+in+Black+Licorice I've done it w/ the black or red heels/accessories. Its such an easy dress, but some how i'm stumped as to how to style it differently. Hopefully you can jazz it u...

Style this: LOFT pleated shorts

Image
I'm slowly getting back into all of these features I started posting. I have a few ideas but they take so long! I'm really trying to keep them updated but please don't hate if I don't keep them up regularly, just a kind comment to say which feature you'd like to see if sufficient. This feature was requested by a lovely reader who purchased a pair of Anne Tarlor LOFT shorts. Unfortunately, not being computer saavy i couldn't figure out how to clip them to Polyvore. You can check them out here: LOFT Pleated short . But for Polyvore sake I was able to find a similar pair for my set. Short possibilities by Ideegeniale featuring Lux bags I'm actually really into shorts lately. It's not a conscious decision but I find myself with an overwhelming amount of dressy, casual, printed, denim...etc.. shorts. So putting this set together was definitely a personal choice as to how I would wear them myself. Things to note: - I like pairing classic, structured pieces w...

Style This: AA striped skirt

Image
This week's style this feature is all about the classic American Apparel cotton skirt. I know that most of us already have this skirt or a version of it(if you're like me, you bought it for $14 at Target) in our wardrobe. I thought it'd be a great way to show you how I'd wear it. Here's the email I received: I ordered this skirt from AA thinking it was darker, more black-ish, and instead it's more of a light gray. I was originally going to style it with a basic black v-neck and an electric blue cardigan with black gladiators, but now the entire outfit doesn't look as cute as I had hoped! Any ideas? A striped skirt by Ideegeniale featuring Kimchi Blue oxfords A few notes: I think this skirt is a perfect weekend look. I'd pair it with some kind of denim, whether it be a shirt or a jacket. Instead of gladiators, I'd go with loafers or brogues. Add a few girly accessories like a cute purse and bow belt. That way you don't look too casual. If you...

Style this: Neema skirt

Welcome to the thrid installment of Style This! I'm so happy that you guys are loving this features, mainly because it's helped me considerably on days when I don;t have an outfit to post, or I've been away. So here's the email I received: I have seen the feature where you help people style some of their items and I think it's a brilliant idea! I have myself run into a styling blockage with a skirt of mine and I was even contemplating selling it without having worn it once because I am so at a loss as to how to style it!!! They unfortunately don't have it in the shop anymore, but they had a dress following the same design, it's this one in green http://www.uttamdirect.com/products/Neema.html  Do you think you can help me even with it?? With this particular reader I was able to check out her chictopia account and see what kind of style she has and what items she's already have in her wardrobe. So I tried to go off of that.

Style this: Seychelles Scallop heel

Wecome to round two of my new feature: Style this! I've recevied a few submissions so far and jusr couldn't wait to get started! Not going to lie, this is a little harder than I thought. Since i'm always up for a style challenge I decided to go with this tricky one: I purchased these teal suede lovelies early this winter and have yet to wear them. Horrible, I know! I'd like to pair them with something other than just plain black (yawn), but when I think about wearing them with a print or white or cream, I worry they'll be too disco. They're so comfy and cost a lot (to me) so I'd love to hear your ideas about how I could wear them this spring. Could you help? I tried to pay more attention to the brands this time and make an affordable, down to earth and non-discoish outfit as possible! Not at a disco party by Ideegeniale featuring Forever21 jackets Things to note: Grey+ teal=LOVE Add a little gold jewelry to tie in with the gold on the shoe Keep your print...
